Get started
Installing authentik is exactly the same process for both Enterprise version and our free open source version.
Install Enterprise
To get started working with Enterprise authentik, upgrade to the 2023.8.x version or later.
If this is a fresh install, refer to our technical documentation for instructions to install and configure authentik.
Access Enterprise
Access your Enterprise features by first purchasing a license for the organization.
To open the Customer portal and buy a license, go to the Admin interface and in the left pane, navigate to Enterprise -> Licenses, and then click Go to Customer portal.
The license key provides direct access to the Customer portal, where you define your organization and its members, manage billing, and access our Support center.
A license is associated with a specific Organization in the customer portal and a specific authentik instance (with a unique Install ID), and not with individual users. A single license is purchased for a specified number of users. Additional users can be added to a license, or additional licenses purchased for the same instance, if more users need to be added later.
Visit the Support center
Enterprise authentik provides dedicated support, with a Support center where you can open a request and view the progress and communications for your current requests.
To learn about our Support center, see "Enterprise support".
